I'm not quite there yet, but trying to plan. I'm putting a 327 Chevy and Muncie 4 speed into my 62 Lark. Can the stock speedometer cable be adapted to the Muncie trans? Has anyone done this with a Muncie or other manual trans? Just curious as to whether it can be done or if I should start looking for some other way to have a funtioning speedometer. Thanks.

That makes two of us: I also have a 1962 Lark and may wind up dropping in a SBC and matching trans down the road...........Originally posted by Dougie View Post--------------------------------------
Sold my 1962; Studeless at the moment
Borrowed Bams50's sigline here:
"Do they all not, by mere virtue of having survived as relics of a bygone era, amass a level of respect perhaps not accorded to them when they were new?" -
I think a quick Google will find you a "GPS Speedometer", no need to connect anything but the battery.
I concur, www.speedhut.com has what it takes. Kinda spendy, but look what all you get.Comment

If your going the SBC & Muncie route then use any standard Chevy speedo cable. The only Stude that used the same cable was the 4 speed (T-10) equipped cars. I ordered a cable assy from the Delco rep. when I worked at a Caddy dealership, installed with no problems.59 Lark wagon, now V-8, H.D. auto!

I used a '72 Chevy pick up speedometer cable between a muncie 4 speed and a '57 Hawk speedometer in my hot rod, worked good. The 4 speed has since been replaced with a T5, and the cable still works.Dwight 54 Commander hardtopComment

Sounds too easy. i hope it works out that well. ThanksComment

Just make sure the Chevy cable housing has the screw on end at the speedometer. At some point they went to a clip on end. The transmission end stayed the same for decades.Dwight 54 Commander hardtopComment
